Description:
|
Under the obsessive control of their father, Safiya Sinclair and her sisters existed within the strict confines of a militant Rastafarian faith, distinguished by its rejection of ‘Babylon’, the corrupting influence of the Western world. However, the poverty and isolation fuel Safiya’s creative talents, especially for writing poetry, and along with her determination to set her own path, provide the route for escape. Courageous and confronting, this beautifully written Jamaican memoir of fundamentalism and rebellion, from an award-winning poet, is testimony to the power of literature to enrich and change lives.
Comments from BDS Reviewers:"This is one of the best memoirs I have ever read."
"Beautifully written, each page sings with gorgeous language."
